This is my experience with the F1 race in Melbourne. Although being for sooooo many years in Greece, living very close to the Greek-Turkish borders (320km from Istanbul), i never been there to watch an F1 race. I had to come in a circuit 16000km away to watch it for the first time in my life!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, talk is cheap :nopic
We entered Albert park. There were thousands of people waiting the race to start.

We had something to eat just before the race. We had a general pass ticket. That means you can go all around the track. That means lots of walking!!!

Not bad for an amateur photographer, with a lens with only manual focus to make my life even difficult as the cars passing by with a couple of kph
